Don't come for Serena Williams. Russian tennis chief Shamil Tarpischev referred to Serena and her sister Venus Williams as "the Williams brothers" on a Russian talk show. Tarpischev has since been suspended from the Women's Tennis Association and fined $25,000 for his comments. Yesterday, Serena Williams spoke to press in Singapore about the incident saying: "I think the WTA did a great job of taking initiative and taking action to his comments. I thought they were very insensitive and extremely sexist as well as racist at the same time." Tarpischev apologized in a statement saying his words were not meant in malice but Serena still thinks his behavior was unacceptable.
